3. Make it fun Have your children help you prepare their lunch - they are more likely to eat it. Cut sandwiches into fun shapes (try using a cookie cutter). Write your child a note on the peel of a banana by scoring the skin with a toothpick. Buy cheese in different shapes - sun and moon, cubes, etc. Assemble fruits chunks on a straw "skewer". Serve with yogurt dip. Use fun shaped pasta for pasta salads. Pack ingredients so kids can assemble their own lunch - tacos, mini cheese/meat/cracker sandwiches, etc. Make your own trail mix at home using your child's favorite cereal, raisins, nuts, and mini-pretzels. Toss in a few fruit gummies as a surprise. Add a special treat - a note, small game, riddle, cartoon, etc.Check out the Meijer back-to-school video series for tips and recipes at meijermealbox.com
